How must a driver respond to a flashing red traffic signal in Montana?
- Stop completely, yield, and continue only when it is safe
- Slow briefly and continue without yielding
- Wait for the signal to become a steady green
- Treat it as a protected green arrow
Answer: Stop completely, yield, and continue only when it is safe. A flashing red signal carries the same stopping requirement as a stop sign. The driver must make a complete stop, check left, right, and ahead, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and proceed only after the path is safe. A brief slowdown is not a complete stop, while waiting for green invents a requirement that applies to a different signal display. A green arrow grants a protected movement and has the opposite meaning. The visual cue is red flashing still begins with a full stop, even though the light is not steady.
